Falling deeper and deeper into the investigation, Sam will need to deal with his mind-self, deciding whether or not to be analytical or to learn from his past and endeavor to become more personable than fact-based. While it sounds somewhat disjointed (and sometimes is), the investigations slowly begin to intertwine. What follows is a mystery essentially with an A and B plot - Sam will investigate what’s happened to Nick while players try to figure out Sam and his own mind.
After a boozy wake, Sam wakes up with a nasty hangover, suffering from memory loss… and soon finds a bloody shirt in his hotel room’s bathtub. Sam agrees to look into Joan’s concerns, realising the effort will mean more time in Basswood than he’s really comfortable with. Nick’s daughter Joan quickly confides in Sam that she believes he father’s death to be foul play, despite the beliefs of the local police force. Our new hero is called back to Basswood over the death of his best friend Nick, another former co-worker (and, coincidentally, Anna’s new boyfriend).

While it impacts his present, it’s certainly done the same in his past - his unique way of thinking placed strain on his romantic relationship with former co-worker Anna, and his stunted understanding of human emotions had him believe that an engagement proposal work sort things out. Sam loses track of time speaking with his mind-self, and even more when collecting and analyzing clues in his mind palace. While an amazing investigator, Sam’s talents come at the cost of social skills so much so, he’s actually created a second persona whom he talks to in order to try to fit in. Needless to say, those in the town who’ve lost their job as a result weren’t exactly thrilled with his work. An investigative journalist, he uncovered dodgy workplace practices at the local mine, leading it to file for bankruptcy and close up shop. Set in the sleepy fictional town of Basswood, protagonist Sam returns to his hometown after leaving for myriad reasons.

While familiar in tone, its unique protagonist ensures a storyline with an emphasis on detective work as seen in the Batman Arkham series alongside a reliance on the mind palace, a concept that’s featured in Frogware’s Sherlock Holmes franchise. Twin Mirror is the latest from DONTNOD - the developer behind episodic titles like Life is Strange and Tell Me Why - though it diverges from its cousins by dropping a serialised format in favour of a single-instance narrative. DONTNOD drops episodic storytelling for a one-shot in a small, west coast town.
